I have lived in Caleta de Fuste or Costa Caleta, in Fuerteventura for nearly four years now, and can safely say, I have never been happier. The pace and quality of life here is amazing, and every dayc feels like a Saturday – particularly as I work hard most days.

The island is struggling through the credit crisis, as the one way to get to our island in any volume of numbers is by aeroplane, so we struggle with jet-fuel prices, as well as reluctant vacationers worried about the weak Euro right now.

But it could not be all doom and gloom, I may see a little light at the end of this long tunnel, but its not here quite yet.
